 Promising Progress.
 PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 14.-The first annual meeting of the stockholders of the Keely Motor company since 1883 was held here to- day and was attended by about seventy-hve stockholders, representing nearly seventy thousand dollars. The report of the board of directors, which was read and accepted, showed they arrived at these conclusions: The directors are more than ever satisfied that the enterprise is absolutely based upon the application of a new motive power; that MT, Keely has underestimated in many par tieulars the time necessary to the comple- tion of his work; that notwithstanding the doubts expressed in some quarters the board have high hopes, steady and in fact won derful progress having been made in MT. Keely's works; that the chief difficulties have been removed and we are now in sight of the results. In conclusion the report states that it is hoped the coming year will witness a great change in the aspect of af- fairs and that those interested will be re- warded for their patience.
 The report of MT. Keely in response to the request of stockholders of a statement of progress was read. In 1t the inventor re- views his efforts and experiments as far back as 1882 and says that since March, 1885. phenomena have been unfolded to him open ing new field of experiment, as the result of which he has become possessed of a new and important discovery. Hereafter his opera tions will be conducted without either the vaporic or etheric forces which heretofore played such an important part in his exhibitions. What name to give his new form of force he does not know, but the basis of all is vibratory sympathy. It may be divided, too, into negative and sympathetic attraction, these two forms of force being the antithesis of each other. As to the practical outcome of his work, whether the way is clear to suc- cessful end-near or remote-Mr. Keely could make no promises. He had no doubt that he would sooner or later be able to pro duce engines of varying capacity so small as to run sewing machine and so large as to plough the sea as the motive power of great ships His ultimate success he holds will be greater than even his most sanguine advo- cates have predicted.
 The report was accepted and the following directors elected: c. K. Dutton, Joseph An min, J. J. Smith and F. G. Green of New York and William Clark, Lancaster, Thomas and Georoa R Collier of PhiladelDhi6.

Entertainments.

The second symphony concert by Theodore Thomas orchestra, under the auspices of the New Haven Concert association, drew large and appreciative audience at the Hyperion theater last evening. The programme was the most classical one ever rendered in this city and received the closest attention and deserved applause of the audience. Perhaps the most enjoyable selections were the adagio movement of the Haydn sym- phony, the first movement of MT. j. K. Paine's Tempest" representing the storm, and the "Scherzo," which con cluded Berlioz's "Romeo and Juliet" Miss Griswold, the vocalist of the evening, sang four German songs-two by Schubert and two by Schumann-and Massenet's aria ''Herodiade" This lady has pure soprano voice of wonderful power and sweetness. The Gounod society will act wisely in select ing her for one of their concerts to be given late in the season. The next concert will be given on Wednesday evening, February l, 1888, on which occasion Wagner-Beetho- ven programme will be given.
